When it comes to adaptations of French playwright Edmond Rostand’s romantic tragedy Cyrano de Bergerac, you can take your pick of the nose.

Virginia Gay’s CYRANO has made its North American premiere at Toronto’s CAA Theatre, starring Eryn-Jean Norvill in the title role. Check out photos of the production here.

The Tony and Olivier Award-winning Girl from the North Country will be presented at The Old Vic, following its world premiere at the theatre in 2017. See rehearsal photos here!

The Old Vic has announced the full cast for the return of the Tony and Olivier Award-winning Girl from the North Country, following its world premiere at the theatre in 2017.

Virginia Gay's Cyrano is billed as 'after Edmond Rostand' and is far more than a faithful adaptation of the classic tragic tale of doomed romance. In reimagining the play, Gay finds an interesting central role for herself as the overlooked and lovesick Cyrano, wishing for more from her friendship with the bubbly Roxanne, and finding a facade of words to hide the hurt she feels at comments about her ugly looks.

Cyrano, the critically acclaimed and joyous gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac will transfer to Park Theatre, London from 11 December 2024- 11 January 2025 following the sold-out European premiere run at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh this summer.

Sam Mendes' The Motive and the Cue, which ran at The National Theatre and then in the West End, is hoping to transfer to 'a Shubert theater this spring,' says Baz Bamigboye for Deadline.

Traverse 1 will play host to some of theatreland’s finest UK talent this August as the cast for Virginia Gay’s Cyrano is announced.

Brimming with ideas, Richard Harris's play never forgets that its first obligation is to entertain

Theatre at the Tabard presents The Last Laugh by Richard Harris, the first in-house production in their relaunch season, following a short closure and return to the Tabard name.

Bill Kenwright presents Martin Shaw in the West End premiere of Gore Vidal's sharp political drama The Best Man, at The Playhouse Theatre from Saturday 24 February, with press night Monday 5 March at 7.00pm.

Neck and neck, the only thing that separates the candidates are the endorsements from a respected Ex-President (Jack Shepherd) and party big-wig (Gemma Jones).
